Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House, some Queensland property owners already capture and recycle their water. And yet – for these folk, there are Councils who tax them for not connecting to town water. This is an absurd situation and should not be allowed to continue, especially in the face of water shortages across the State. Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to; pass laws banning Councils from imposing ‘vacant’ or other water taxes on residents who choose to make the investment to capture and recycle their own water; pass laws requiring Councils to be part of the solution and reward residents who contribute to solving the problem.
